Where Was Colbeck When Veterans Needed Him?

Senator Patrick Colbeck is known for verbose statements about cutting government programs, blocking those who disagree with him on social media and being one of the few people in Michigan who actually likes Ted Cruz. But he should be most known for his failure to protect veterans when he had the chance.

The fact of the matter is when veterans needed leadership, Patrick Colbeck was nowhere to be found. Mr. Colbeck likes to say we should paint with bold colors and not pale pastels. It seems when it comes to protecting veterans, Colbeck’s brush of accountability doesn’t bleed red, white and blue. Instead, it lacks strong chromatic content, laying down a washed-out, desaturated mauve.
